EP 112: Christmas Games

[@jaystewbrew]

Hi! So far, we’ve played Boop the Halls (which was a hilarious theme of cats climbing the Christmas tree) & Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries. Next on our list is Grand Austria Hotel-we just cut out the Christmas print-and-play mini expansion on BGG, and wanna give it a try.

Oh, I didn't realize Boop The Halls was about cats climbing the Christmas tree!🤣 We've looked at Ticket to Ride Nordic Countries, but we haven't gotten it...yet!😉

Yay! A Swedish game! 🇸🇪 We don’t really have any Christmas games ourselves, but Jokkmokk is one on our list, along with Ghosts of Christmas ☺️ We hope to hear your thoughts on Final Girl when you get around to it ☺️

[@teaNgames]

You'll hear about all those games when we play them! I'm really looking forward to Jokkmokk!

This is great! Looking to expand my Christmas collection!!

[@teaNgames]

Glad I could give you some ideas! There's not a lot of holiday themed games around. I'm always looking for more good ones, too!🎄🎅🎁

I don't think we have many holiday themed games, with the exception of year-round resident Santa in Walking in Burano. We actually played Silver for the first time over the weekend so we aren't even doing the right holidays! Good luck on your holiday baking! I've got to get to work on my cookie boxes for some of my neighbors. So busy! Glad you are well and I hope you get some gaming in between cookie batches and family gatherings!

Well, you can't go wrong with Silver! We play that year-round! 2 new sets of Silver should be hitting retail soon & we're looking forward to getting them. Oh, btw, I hear there's a new Silver app. Haven't tried it, but when they get all the decks added in it would allow you try out different decks & play with custom decks! Hope ya'll have happy holidays with lots of fun game-playing!🎉

@@teaNgames Yes! I used the app to learn how to play actually! It was super helpful and it helped me teach folks at the table. I'm not really good at the game, but I do have a whale of a time playing!

[@teaNgames]

@JymmiF It's a lot of fun...but I can't have conversations while playing or I forget my cards. I'm reciting known cards left to right in my head during the whole game🤣

[@JymmiF]

@teaNgames the app always shows you what your cards are if you have viewed them so playing in real life without that was much more challenging.
